Balshy Fishing Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Thank you all for the answers and feedback in the topwater and finesse presentation section! Please, continue to answer those if you haven't already to keep up some great discussion. Next, we will be focusing on fishing line. Everybody has their opinion(which they claim to be fact) on which fishing line is the greatest. For this, I'd like ya'll to suggest ONE brand of each line. Mono, Fluoro & Braid. Monofilament: Suffix Clear Elite Fluorocarbon: Seaguar InvizX Braid: PowerPro Sprectra Quote
paultio Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Mono: Sunline Super Natural Co-poly: Izorline XXX Fluorocarbon: Sunline Super FC Sniper Braid: Seagar Smackdown/Powerpro Maxcuatro Quote

Hogsticker Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Mono - Sunline Defier. Simply no substitute. Fluoro - Seaguar Tatsu. Need I say more? Braid - Maxima ultra green braided line. This ones a real sleeper, and I highly encourage trying it. It's good stuff 1 Quote

Damn Yankee Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Mono:Cajun red , looks good on a black reel with gold spool. Flouro:Yo-zuri hybrid Braid:Cajun red, pick up a bunch at 10 bucks per 300yd. I hate paying retail. Quote

Super User Master Bait'r Posted July 5, 2016 Super User Posted July 5, 2016 All I really need is CXX and Smackdown but if I did use a flouro again it would definitely be Tatsu. Quote

Super User scaleface Posted July 5, 2016 Super User Posted July 5, 2016 Mono trilene xl . floro and braid , dont use them . 1 Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted July 5, 2016 Super User Posted July 5, 2016 Yo Zuri and whatever braid is on sale - mostly PP and Cabelas RipCord8 (but it looks like Cabelas brand has changed, and I haven't used the new RipCord yet. The old stuff was as good as PP and when on sale, far cheaper.) Quote

Two guys with many years of bass fishing under their belts and their personal preferences are nearly 100% opposite. Just goes to show there are many ways to achieve the same result. Neither line preference is right and neither is wrong its just what they choose to use or what has worked best for them. I am just glad we have all the options we have nowadays to pick what we like. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted July 6, 2016 Super User Posted July 6, 2016 I tried floro and didnt care for it . Then I started reading about it . Florocarbon does stretch but unlike mono it is not elastic and does not regain its original propetries .. Once it is stretched you are literally fishing with damaged line . At least thats the way I interpret it . Quote
riverbasser Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Can't believe y'all buy tatsu. That's just too much money for line IMO. Mono- any version of trilene Fluro- bought some and hated it. Using up what's left for the occasional leader Braid- spider wire stealth braid. But after everyone on this site using power pro I just picked some up to try Quote
